THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT FOR THE " PERFECT " SHOOT
RB67 camera KIT
Alexanders' Famous Custom Triple RB camera case
MOST photographers travel with one camera and a backup. TOTALLY UNACCEPTABLE !!!
ALEXANDER never wastes time changing lenses for the perfect perspective. His assistant carries 2 RB cameras while Alexander
works with the other RB posing, moving, shooting quickly AND when he needs a wider lens or a longer telephoto ... his assistant hands him
the requested camera with the perfect lens and he continues shooting while assistant keeps reloading film backs to snap on instantly.
RB KIT CONTENTS: 3 individual 6x7 Mamiya RB cameras each selfcontained with its own: custom grip, prism, custom
light seal eye cup, Pocket Wizard Transmitters, Flash, 220 film backs with 3 extra 220 backs loaded & ready to go, Pro 4 special effect lens
hoods and filters. Camera's optics used are: wide 50mm with ultrawide yielding 30mm, a Normal 90mm, and Telephoto 180mm.
PLEASE NOTICE the bottom center CUSTOM RB camera / a "one of " - the body and prism is polished aluminum/titanium
The ultrawide lens is an Alexander creation created by coupling the Mamiya wide 50mm to a wide broadcast video
camera lens. An ultrawide lens was NEVER created by the manufacturer for the RB67.
The RZ electronic version of the RB is used ONLY in the studio as Alexander prefers to use the " manual only" RB non electronic (more dependable)
medium format cameras.
His assistant is always very very busy... reloading film backs, staying close to Alexander ready to pass the next camera or film back OR battery.
These are very big and very heavy cameras and the lead acid battery powering the flash is velcro-ed to the prism for quick change.
The plastic bin on the left holds test meter, repair kit, sync cords, mints & tools

Alexander still has very high end commercial clients that still insist on 8x10 negs and 4x5 negs. The Sports Illustrated Sailing Regatta shots from a chopper in the commercial section of the website where taken with a vintage 4x5 speed graphic with graph-matic sheet film back that allowed rapid consecutive shooting.
Many clients ask ALEXANDER what he uses personally at home and on vacation :
For stills its a Nikon D2 system with VR & DX lenses and the Nikon 995 with the 183 degree lens and
For Video its the AG-HV2000 tapeless for crazy fun stuff with the family
